Continually wearing the wrong items, such as a heavy backpack or bag on one shoulder, can cause injury to your health.

You probably wouldn't connect getting ill with what you wear, but perhaps you should. When it comes to being healthy, you probably don't give your clothes or accessories a second thought. The reality is that what you wear or carry could play a crucial role in your health, even making you ill if you continually wear the wrong items, such as a heavy backpack or bag. Clothing fit is also an important consideration for health. Clothes or accessories that are too tight can constrict blood flow, reduce your range of motion and cause discomfort.

From your head to your toes, what you put on your body on a daily basis needs to be considered for total wellness. Below are some of our recommendations for back saving wear.

Most men carry a wallet in their back pockets and in many cases it can be over a half an inch thick. Sitting on a half inch wedge for hours at a time over a period of years is one of the most overlooked causes of spinal misalignments and spinal pain including back pain, neck pain and even headaches.

Another important wellness essential product is an ergonomically designed backpack. It is amazing how we can put thousands of pages of data onto a microchip smaller than the eye can see, yet kids are carrying backpacks that are heavier than ever filled with text books. Many schools are taking away kid's

Most people spend close to two-thirds of their life in shoes, so wearing shoes that fit well is very important. Our feet endure tremendous pressures daily. For example, an average day of walking brings a force equal to several hundred tons on your feet. Feet are subject to more injury than any other

Your feet are the base that your body stands on. If your feet are weak or have structural problems, this can lead to problems in your knees, hips and low back, and can even cause headaches. Many people wear orthotics because they are good for their feet, but orthotics are even more important for those

Testimonial

"A few months ago I started going to see Dr. Christie. She is amazing she did not make me feel bad for not seeing a chiropractor earlier. She went over in detail my x-rays and explained my issues. Dr. Christie takes her time going over what she is doing before she adjusts me."

Ralph S. Seattle, WA

"Dr. Tiffany Christie is my first chiropractor, and I am quite content about making her my last. She takes the time to understand my needs and develops a personalized treatment plan to reach my goals! She makes every visit a treat - she is personable, professional, and passionate about what she does! Her infectious smile, awesome staff, and pain relieving adjustments have me leaving feeling better than when I first come in.

It truly shows when you have health care professionals that enjoy what they do; I feel that their energy radiates onto their patients. Moreover, I get that from Dr. Christie and her staff who provide me with the quality compassionate care that I expect. 5 star treatment and I highly recommend visiting Dr. Christie for all your chiropractic needs!"

- Paul G Seattle, WA

"I've been to many other chiropractors and not one of them took the time with me that Tiffany did. I was impressed with all of the treatments she offered besides adjustments. She did some soft tissue work on me and used a tool to help break up the scar tissue in my shoulders. I felt a ton of relief when I left. Dr. Tiffany is super sweet, which is a nice change from my last chiropractor who was all business. I LOVED the pre-treatment rolling bed she had me lie on. Get the muscles loosened up and just plain feels good! She also has some retail items that are helpful for aiding in sleeping ergonomically and physical therapy items. It was super nice to work with a chiropractor who wasnt in a rush to get me in and out. That made a big impression on me. Definitely give her a call!"

"Dr. Christie is amazing! Best upper cervical adjustments I have ever had. She also is quite skilled with Graston techniques. She is always ready to suggest a new kind of stretch, to help me between appointments. Not only is she a very knowledgeable, she is also a pleasure to interact with. Chiropractic care has never been this good!"

Most of us pay little attention, if any, to the daily functioning of our many physiological systems. Our hearts beat, our digestive systems digest, and our various hormones, such as those deriving from the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pancreas, do what they do. It's all good... until it's not. ...
